The man fled in a silver Navigator getaway car waiting for him in the parking lot across the street at the “Golden Corral” restaurant.

Police say the man is described as Hispanic, in his late teens to early 20s, about 5 feet 10 inches, and weighing between 145 and 160 lbs. He had little facial hair and was wearing a black North Face with tan khakis, black high-top converse, tan ball cap and black aviator-like shades.

The owner says they just want the puppy back, no questions asked. He is cream with bright green eyes and is valued at $6000.
